Escape room

Are you looking for a creative teamwork and problem solving activity for your team? We have developed an escape room experience that is fun, challenging and highly imaginative. 

The story: 

 

The year is 3070. Most of the population of the world live in Squalor (a place ravaged by poverty and disease). A very small percentage of the smartest and most elite citizens get to live in Elysiana (paradise).

 

To qualify to live there, you must pass a series of tests. The final test is called "The Final Grading". If you pass "The Final Grading" you get to live in Elysiana. If not, you must go back to living in Squalor. You are competing as a group of four. None of you can pass if you don't all pass.​​​

Logistics

🏫 Where will it take place?

We will come to you! Our facilitators will bring all the resources to you so that you can complete the escape room in your own classroom.

👥 How many students can participate?

We can accommodate one class of students per booking (around 30 students) and they will be working in groups of 4.

💡 What leadership skills are focused on?

The key leadership skills that are covered are communication, teamwork, problem solving and attention to detail. Each student will be provided with a puzzle that can only be solved by working together with the other members of their team. There are also hidden clues and hints about the cost of paradise, which can lead to great discussions about equity and social justice.

⏱️ How long does it take?

We recommend allowing 70-90 mins. The experience takes about an hour to complete and is followed up by a facilitated debrief.

💰 How much does it cost?

The escape room fits into the same pricing as our short workshops.

👩‍🏫 Can adults or teachers participate too?

Absolutely! In fact, it is a great Christmas Party activity for your staff to complete together, or as a fun addition to a PD day or conference.

💻 Is there an online version?

Yes! This escape room was originally created during Covid as an immersive online experience over Zoom. If you would like to experience the online version, please get in touch!

Testimonials

“The Yellow Arrow escape room was amazing! Extremely well thought out and clever. I especially loved that it had a clear fantasy/story element as well as the puzzles to solve. The connections to team work discussed afterwards were an insightful experience also.

I would highly recommend this for those after some fun, team building and those looking to enhance their communication skills.”
